I've stuck it on but it isn't looking like being exciting until the final sprint. I often don't find road cycling that brilliant to watch to be honest apart from the mountain stages in the major tours.

If I can find a tin of paint I’ll slap some on the wall and watch it dry.The alternative of watching the grass grow is none starter

The mens is on now. Geraint Thomas and Mark Cavendish involved so it might be more interesting. I think I would rather go for a walk though.

I mostly watch the passing scenery rather than the actual race.

For or against? I remember reading that Amish communities have repeatedly got into trouble for insisting on humanure toilets. Apparently the officials dealing with them say they are politest, most pleasant and must utterly intransigent infractors they've ever dealt with.

Quite a lot of agricultural shows just had pit toilets but that was only short term and filled in soon after the show. Probably some law against it now.

That's a thought; I may actually start watching cycling in scenic areas.

Rain is still on but not heavy downpour. Just very wet and virtually no wind.
Spent quite a while sorting out obsolete computer bits and pieces. They belonged to my son in Aberdeen who died 5 years ago They were all in a box waiting to get sorted. He lectured on computers at Aberdeen College and was an enthusiastic gamer with a vast array of equipment. At his funeral a lot of game enthusiasts turned up which rather surprised us as he seemed to be well known in that field.

Warm and mostly sunny here chez Casa Reynard.

I slept well, and have had a lazy day watching the cycling and the motorcycling. Nice change to have live Moto GP back, even if it is a one-off, but TBH, I found the racing rather underwhelming. I always used to watch it when it was live on the BBC, but now that Dani Pedrosa has retired, I've lost interest. The cycling has been much more fun.

Had two toasties made from mini bagels and filled with ham & cheese for luncheon, along with melon, blueberries and two

Might pick the first of my tomatoes later

I'll join.

I'll join the grupetto too. And I'll bet I'll be slower than all of you

All I saw was a Weasel and some nice yachts bobbing about on Loch Earn.

Well i disturbed a nightie glad lady at a local beauty spot in a local village on my morning ride

Then 15 miles further on i watched a hot air balloon land in front of me

But overall it was a good ride and then when i got home another nightie glad lady was making me a cuppa

So all in all a good start to the day before 9.00 am

I'm doing a full roast dinner at the moment. It might be a tad warm out, but I'm starvin' Marvin!

Ooops, I may have sat a bit too long in the sun while watching the conclusion of the road race and the hockey, because I've managed to toast my cleavage. Ow.

Anyways, some water-based moisturizer has been slapped on, and I'm now safely indoors with a and watching the blokes in the budgie smugglers 10 meters platform diving.
